What is Brackish?
Brackish is an opportunity for artists to explore our complex and disconnected relationship with water in Southeast Louisiana. Each year, this program takes a new cohort of artists through a diverse curriculum centered around infrastructure, local government, and history. We aim create a more informed creative sector that will act as conduits of climate resilience and hope for Louisiana residents.
